S’more Rolls
One of the most nostalgic flavors for me has always been s’mores. No matter how old I get, that combination of toasted marshmallow, melted chocolate, and graham crackers instantly takes me back to some of my favorite memories. Sitting around the fire pit in our backyard with my family, roasting marshmallows outside a mountain cabin after a long day of hiking, or gathered around a campfire on a backpacking trip with my friends while one of them played guitar and the rest of us sang along, somehow s’mores always seemed to be part of those moments. These rolls bring all of that nostalgia into one soft, fluffy bite. They’re rich, gooey, and packed with classic s’mores flavor, making them just as perfect for a summer gathering as they are for a cozy fall or winter morning. Whether you’re craving a taste of campfire season or simply want a comforting homemade treat, these rolls deliver the best of both worlds.ย
Bake Now or Bake Later
If you want to bake these s’more latte rolls right away, follow the instructions and let them rise till fluffy, then bake as directed for soft, fluffy rolls. If you’d rather prep ahead, you can assemble the rolls, cover them tightly, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, let them sit at room temperature until slightly fluffy, then bake fresh. Both methods work beautifully, so you can choose what fits your schedule best!
Why I Measure in Grams (and You Might Want To, Too)
If youโve ever made the same recipe twice and gotten two totally different results, the measuring method is often the reason.
Professional bakeries almost always measure by weight, not volume. Measuring cups leave room for inconsistencyโespecially with ingredients that pack differently depending on how you scoop or pour them. A scale removes all of that guesswork.
One of the biggest offenders is sugar. Different sugars (and even the same sugar measured by different people) can vary wildly in volume, but 100 grams is always 100 grams. Measuring by weight gives you repeatable, bakery-consistent results and cuts down on extra dishes at the same time.
A food scale is one of the best (and most affordable) investments you can make for your kitchen if you love baking and want your recipes to turn out exactly the same every time.
Ingredients To Prepare
Before baking, take a few minutes to gather the ingredients below and to ensure that they are soft, fluffy, and perfect for summer campfires!
Once you have all of the ingredients ready to go, you’re officially set up for S’more Roll success. I always recommend measuring everything out ahead of time so the process is smoother, and you can focus on making the best rolls possible!
S’more Rolls
Ingredients
- 5 cups flour
- ยฝ cup crushed graham crackers
- 1 tbsp instant yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 egg
- ยฝ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ยฝ cups milk
- 5 tbsp butter
- ยฝ cup butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 crushed graham crackers
- Chocolate chips sprinkled on
- Marshmallow fluff toasted
Method
- In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, gently warm the milk and butter together until just lukewarm, about 60โ90 seconds. Stir until the butter is completely melted. The mixture should feel warm but not hot.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour, crushed graham crackers, instant yeast, salt, and granulated sugar. Add the vanilla extract, egg, and warm milk mixture. Mix on lowโmedium speed for 2โ3 minutes until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 10โ15 minutes, or continue kneading with the dough hook until smooth and elastic. Place the dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- While the dough rises, mix together the softened butter, granulated sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and crushed graham crackers until smooth and spreadable.
- Once the dough has doubled in size, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a large rectangle of even thickness. Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly across the surface.
- Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Using dental floss or a sharp knife, cut the log into evenly sized rolls.
- Place the rolls into a buttered baking dish, leaving a little room between each one. Cover and let rise for another 45โ60 minutes, until noticeably puffy.
- Preheat the oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Bake the rolls for 28โ32 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and baked through. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
- Spread marshmallow fluff generously over the warm rolls. Using a kitchen torch, carefully toast the marshmallow fluff until golden brown and lightly charred, just like a classic campfire marshmallow.
- Serve warm while the chocolate is still melty and the marshmallow topping is soft and gooey. These rolls have all the flavors of a classic s’more wrapped up in one fluffy cinnamon-roll-style treat.
